So far so good! After doing alot of research and previously getting sub par work (that had to be replaced) I found Hyde Park Dentistry. I used to work in a dental office so I know what to look out for. If you need implants - go there ! They can do everything in office. Other offices you are sent in a merry-go-round to different specialist then come back then again. The extra 10 minutes drive from Poughkeepsie was worth it ! The guy is very easy to talk with and not once tried to over-treat.

What is a Dental Bridge?
Bridges span the space created when teeth are missing. A bridge may be recommended if you’re missing one or more teeth. A bridge is made up of two (or more) crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap with a false tooth or teeth in between. Dental bridges are supported by natural teeth or implants. Gaps left by missing teeth eventually cause the remaining teeth to rotate or shift into the empty spaces, resulting in a bad bite.
The imbalance caused by missing teeth can also lead to gum disease and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.
Benefits of a Dental Bridge
Restore your smile
Restore your ability to properly chew and speak
Maintain the shape of your face
Distribute the forces in your bite properly by replacing missing teeth
Prevent remaining teeth from drifting out of position
Non-Removable Implant Supported Bridges
When several teeth in a row are missing, they can be replaced by a bridge anchored to implants. An implant is not needed for each tooth being replaced. Three or four teeth can be replaced with just two dental implants for support. This is less expensive than placing an individual implant for each tooth being replaced.
Dental implants provide several advantages over other teeth replacement options.
In addition to looking and functioning like natural teeth, implant-supported bridges replace teeth without support from adjacent natural teeth.
Additionally dental implants are strong and can support the biting forces of several teeth when they are anchored together.
Because implant-supported bridges will replace some of your tooth roots, your bone is better preserved. With a fixed bridge or removable partial denture, the bone that previously surrounded the tooth root may begin to resorb (deteriorate). Dental implants integrate with your jawbone, helping to keep the bone healthy and intact.
In the long term, implants look better, function better and are more comfortable.
Crown Supported Dental Bridge?
A bridge is made up of two (or more) crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap. These two or more anchoring teeth are called abutment teeth with a false tooth or teeth in between. Dental bridges are supported by natural teeth or implants.
A dental bridge consists of two crowns, which are attached and anchor the the replacement tooth in between.
These two crowns are cemented to the abutments - the natural teeth on either side of the empty space and act as anchors for the replacement tooth.
As with crowns, you have a choice of materials for bridges. Our dentist can help you decide which to use, based on the location of the missing tooth (or teeth), its function, aesthetic considerations and cost. Porcelain or ceramic bridges can be matched to the color of your natural teeth.
Contact us today and schedule an appointment with our office to get an opinion on your need for dental bridges.

He is the best dentist I have ever had! I recently went to two dentists and an oral surgeon who wanted to extract a molar. Dr. Tufankjian removed the old crown and skillfully repaired my molar and placed a state of the art Zirconium crown. He also did two implants for me. His staff is awesome and accommodating. Look no further for excellence!

The most amazing experience I've had with any dentist!! Dr. Tufankjian is both an excellent and attentive dentist, he insures comfort and instills confidence in his performance. Dr. Tufankjian was very supportive and understanding of my anxieties and took time to explain all procedures. The staff were incredibly knowlegable and worked with me to make sure my needs were met and my questions were answered timely. I wouldn't trust my oral care to anyone else.

Was a previous patient of Dr Whalen before Dr T took over. Very good experience, caring and attentive. Been going here for years. Never give more treatment than you need. I highly recommend.
